Director Gavin Hood has been helming a Wolverine movie that delves into the origins of the hero, from his childhood to the day Logan got his skeleton infused with the indestructible adamantium alloy. Opening in theaters on May 1st, the film is starring Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber, Ryan Reynolds, Taylor Kitsch, Will.i.am, Danny Huston, Dominic Monaghan, Daniel Henney and Lynn Collins.

Here below the last full-length trailer of Wolverine the movie:

Some may feel that the Wolverine shown in the previous X-Men movies wasn't close enough to the cantankerous character from the comic book. Well, Hugh Jackman was sharing this point of view, and being both lead actor and producer of the upcoming Wolverine movie, he tried to put Logan aka Wolverine on a better track:

"I'm not mad about it, but I thought he had gotten a bit soft. I thought we had gotten away from the essence of who Wolverine really is: a bad (dude) who wants to live his own life.[...]The character has always reminded me of Dirty Harry or Han Solo. He's a good guy, not a nice guy. He's got a lot of flaws, which I think is what people find so attractive about him and the X-Men. He's struggling with who he is and what he wants. He was one of the comics' first anti-heroes."

The first preview clip shows the childhood of Logan (before he becomes Wolverine):

Outcasts

While the comic book may have played with the idea that Sabretooth could have been Logan's father (Sabretooth appears on Logan's birthdays with a surprising regularity...), the movie isn't doing so.

The second Wolverine clip indicates indeed that the teen who took the young Logan under his umbrella is actually the young Sabretooth, it seems they are actually brothers. The two have been through a lot together, but then they became at odds:

Brothers

The third TV spot of Wolverine has aired on FOX Channel:

Legends

Every hero has an origin!

Wolverine is going to chop the chopper! That sounds like jumping the shark or nuking the fridge, but I' don't care: just awesome!:)

Some fans may wonder why there are so many mutants in the movie if it's an origin story of Wolverine. But instead of getting disppointed think about it as positive. Indeed by lining those Marvel characters in the Wolverine movie they're seeding potential new spin-off movies.

But I'm so thrilled by Wolverine, so I'd rather see those spin-offs waiting in the wing further and hope they will rather work on Wolverine 2 following the release of this first opus.:)

Hugh Jackman was asked about the upcoming Wolverine movie. And he gladly talked about his role as Logan aka Wolverine (even if the interview, here, was actually for an other film, Australia...):

Talking about the movie Wolverine:

"I can guarantee you there are going to be surprises. David Benioff, who wrote the script, is one of the great writers in Hollywood, and he is the biggest comic book fan in the history of the world. There is not an issue of Wolverine or X-Men that he doesn't own. When he first pitched me the idea, he had such a brilliant idea that was his little twist on events. He's written it smartly. He knows what the fans want."

Hugh Jackman

And hinting at what direction a Wolverine sequel would take:

"The most intriguing thing to me was the Japan story. I love the Japan story. I wanted to do the Japan story from around X-Men 2. Can you just picture Wolverine in Japan with the triads and the samurai? It's just genius. Comedically and dramatically, I thought, 'This is awesome!' But how can you do that before you explain his origins? If we tried to mix the origin and Japan together, it wouldn't do justice to either. So you can tell by the answer where I'd like it to go."

Hugh Jackman

Seems Hugh Jackman really appreciates interpreting the role of Wolverine. I'm quite sure there will a be Wolverine movie sequel. If the movie Wolverine 2 takes place in Japan that would be awesome: can you imagine samurai swords vs. adamantium claws?:)

Logan / Wolverine (played by Hugh Jackman) , the adamantium hero from Marvel, will have his own movie that will blow us all away! The movie is tilted X-Men Origins Wolverine and is directed by Gavin Hood.

The footage shown shown at the latest comic con was explosive. Here Below a bootleg version of this Wolverine trailer from comic con which has leaked on the web:

Witness the origin!

X-Men Origins WOLVERINE

In this X-Men prequel spin-off we will discover the secrets of Logan's past, how he became Wolverine.

I think that a Wolverine movie is much more appealing than the X-men movies: Wolverine is an ambivalent character with a boiling savage force in him, much more interesting than a bunch of tamed X-Men mutants.
